Run Build Runner
$ flutter pub run build_runner build --delete-conflicting-outputs
try on your machine

This command is used in the Flutter framework to generate code for the project. Here's a breakdown of each part:

  • flutter: It is the command-line tool used for various Flutter development tasks.
  • pub run: It is a command of the pub package manager, which is responsible for managing dependencies in a Flutter project.
  • build_runner: It is a package used to automatically generate code for the project based on annotations and project structure.
  • build: It is a command of the build_runner package that instructs it to generate the code for the project.
  • --delete-conflicting-outputs: It is a flag indicating that any previously generated code that conflicts with the current generation should be deleted before generating the new code. This helps ensure that the generated code is up to date and accurate.

So, when you run this command, it tells Flutter to use the build_runner package to generate code for your project, while also deleting any previously generated code that might conflict with the new generation.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
